[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]+1. Federal prosecutors don’t seek sentences below the federal guidelines, which are set by Congress, for defendants who don’t plead guilty and/or provide substantial cooperation. Stone did the opposite. This is basic stuff. [/quote] You forget--the "victim" said that he did not take Stone's threat seriously. That was the basis of asking for the higher penalty. And, this was a first time offender. They usually take that into consideration, as well. No danger to society.[/quote] JUDGES take those things into consideration at the actual sentencing when choosing between the lower and higher amounts of time as set forth in the guidelines. PROSECUTORS seek sentences for uncooperative defendants within The guidelines which are set by law. Ask ANY DC AUSA if they’ve ever sought a sentence lower than the federal guidelines for any defendant who has not plead guilty or cooperated with other cases. It doesn’t happen. [/quote]
